My 2.5 yr old adores this video!!!

"I purchased this video a few weeks ago for my 2.5 yr old son. My son is VERY high energy and since it's Fall and soon will be Winter I wanted to find exercises to do with him indoors so he won't be bouncing off the walls. This video is EXCELLENT! At first he didn't get it but after I showed him how to do the moves he loved it! He actually picked this DVD over his Brainy Baby and Baby Einstein videos! The lady's voice is very calm and reassuring and the dvd is informative wich I enjoy and my son does as well (learning about nature, our bodies, some words in sanscript etc). Most importantly the video actually WORKS. We did it an hour ago as a matter of fact. My son was bouncing around and acting silly towards the beginning of the video but towards the end he was actually calm and still is an hour later. I can't recommend this DVD enough!"
YogaKids is the BEST!

"My daughter and I started doing YogaKids every evening when she was 18 months old. At first, she could only do one pose, but she watched the kids doing yoga with great interest and now, at age 2, these are her very favorite. She's learned yoga and lots of new words and concepts from these creative and challenging videos. My daughter is still mastering new poses and is so proud of herself as she tries and achieves new things. It is a great DVD to do with your child. It is our favorite part of the day. Silly to Calm is a great bedtime yoga practice. It loosens us up and brings us down to a calm, peaceful state. My daughter is ready to move into bed when this video is done and she does so happily and easily!"
Really does calm them down!!!

"I have done this DVD with my two children several times before bedtime. It really does calm both of them down and get them ready for bed. Some of the poses are a little difficult for my youngest child (age 2 1/2 ) but my 4 1/2 year old is very capable of them."
Almost as good as YogaKids2

"We bought YogaKids2 first and loved it so much that I went back to buy this version. While it is still amusing and fun to do, there are a lot of visual cutaways from the kids which tends to distract from the yoga itself. As another reviewer said, there is a lack of transition from one move to the next. I also thought there could be more of the calming time near the end. Unfortunately, you get through the calming time and then when the credits roll they show the kids being silly again, which kind of defeats the purpose. Generally, though, this is a good introduction to yoga for kids - the kids are cute and entertaining and the poses basic enough to try."
Pretty Good Video for Little Ones

"I bought this for my almost three year old who (I've recently come to terms with) is high energy. I decided to introduce him to yoga in hopes of giving him a great life long tool in managing his excessive energy. The beginning is a bit drawn out for his attention span as well as the in between pose descriptions. I think as he gets older this will be a great dvd for him to follow along. But, for now, I find I'm doing most of it by myself :-). Although, it's great for us moms too!"
